The section in SICP on circuit simulation has some similar ideas. I like to think that that was an early version of the propagator idea - https://mitpress.mit.e

- kkylin 7y agoThe constraint language described in SICP (AFAIK began as a paper by Gerry Sussman and Richard Stallman, continued in the PhD thesis of Guy Steele) is indeed an inspiration / precursor to Alexey's dissertation on propagators.
- kylerpalmer 7y agoYes, and with Alexey's work (if I've understood it) the propagators are allowed to hold multiple values(beliefs) based on more than one (possibly conflicting) set of constraints.
